Hope I won't disappoint you, but Monday only the voting results will be published also to the non voters, as I had written in post #1:
After that when the results will be revealed I still won't name the loudspeakers for few days but the discussion of the preference results and perceived sound differences will be welcome so it also won't be biased.
Would be also fun to let people in that short period doing guesses what they think the loudspeakers were.

No idea why, but when you said "phones", I took that to mean various cell phones
I listened on both speakers(Genelec 8351/212) and headphones(AKG K371 - not EQed). Both led me to the same conclusion, which surprised me a bit.

There are so many factors influencing this so it will not disappoint whatever my vote is. For fun, I taped my OM1 microphones at my ears and made a recording of the Spotify version linked above (no idea if it is the same version, it sounds not!). Very non-ideal, the microphones pointing upwards to the roof. But anyhow:

Hey it is already Monday where I am, but we have to wait almost 5 more hours before the poll is visible. Or vote and you can see it. You have less than 5 hours. Hurry!
45 people chose the wrong speaker as of the time of my post.
Well I would not say so. I would say ”it depends”.
I will however make a post later tonight having the same music version as the four initial ones with an additional experiment that I hope will be interesting for the discussiion.
Don't worry, I am not that mean, at least not this time
As you mentioned perhaps you can wait a little before disclosing the speakers. I think the discussion of the results will be interesting.

That is the plan, will be interesting to discuss first the perceived findings and guesses for a couple of days before disclosing them, as I had announced in the initial post.

Now that the voting is closed, first of all thank you for the high participation and lets have a look at the results, which seem to show a quite unequivocal preference:
Loudspeaker A Votes: 7 13.5%
Loudspeaker B Votes: 42 80.8%
Loudspeaker C Votes: 0 0.0%
Loudspeaker D Votes: 7 13.5%
So, as promised, lets get to the next phase, where you can write about what you heard (it would be great if you would incluse with which transducer you heard the samples), the differences, your preference and your guesses which loudspeaker brands, models or types these could be.
Loudspeaker A Votes: 7 13.5%
